Thanked: 14In the past 3 months that I've been using a straight razor, your comments ring very true.

I'm a fan of #6. I can't yet finish a shave with out at least one "dueling scar". Keeps me humble.

Those Spike Points
...I am about to give up and sell my spike-point razors, maybe keeping two just to work with them. I don't know how many gouges my already ugly face can endure! Or those who look at me and kinda awkwardly ask if maybe I scratched myself falling into a barbed wire fence, or maybe ran into a chain saw...

Fantastic post, I'm especially fond of #5. My still solitary razor has a slight spike point and even that little bit is unforgiving of even small mistakes. Despite the punishment I love it though, I figure it's pushing me just a little faster through the learning curve.

Thanked: 267Very nice post! I was about the same age as you when I tried my first straight. 150 times in 90 days, you have it bad!
I have started shaving the back of my neck after work a couple of day a week so that I can get a couple of extra passes, with another recently honed razor. My neck is something I could never do with the disposables without a lot of hassle. Cleans up real nice.
Take Care,
Richard
